On the other hand, if it counts backwards, then I would expect to get back to a specific state at a specific generation unless I made some modifications. It might even be interesting to see for instance, what generation 500 looks like if I modify generation 700 and run backwards.

The best way to get back to your topic on comics is to draw another comic yourself.
